OUT TO LUNCH:
you're right. Which is exactly why we need to talk to our children about the choices their parent(s), siblings, etc. made and why it is NOT acceptable. I think that one of the main reasons that kids try drugs, or try more drugs ("well, i've tried alcohol, now i'm trying weed... well, i've tried weed, now let's try x...) is curiosity.
It's important to sit down with your son and tell him why his dad made the decisions he made (why he thought it was good) and the consequences. By the time your son gets old enough to understand, if your ex has not sought treatment, trust me, there will be PLENTY of consequences to show for his addiction.
Otherwise, to a easily influenced child it looks like there aren't any consequences.
